Sweet Sunday Christmas

It's time for this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch, SSSC65. You'll find the sketch on Karen Giron's blog, The Sweetest Thing.

I've been slacking with my Christmas-card-a-week plan lately so I decided to use this week's sketch for a Christmas card. Then I saw in blogland that MFT is showcasing the Who's That Girl line for this months greatest hits line-up. OMG...my Who's That Girl stamps have not seen enough love lately (I mean really...it's that original line that got me hook line and sinker in love with MFT!!!) so I pulled out my Merry Christmas set (which I couldn't find in the store to link to...sorry) for my card today.

I used a combination of paper piecing and copic colouring for the image. It's stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Buttercream and four of the patterned papers from my October Afternoon Good Cheer 8x8 pad. I paper pieced in layers starting from the back, the wall paper, the tree, the chair and the list. Then I cut out the girl, the presents and the ribbon spool from Choice Buttercream and coloured them with copics. I added some Stickles to the tree in Christmas Red and Waterfall.

Karen this rocks for so many reasons!! Love that you are still on top of your christmas cards, that takes focus when spring is popping up all around us. Love all the paper piecing and copic coloring, just perfect!! The sketch looks great and I love the colors! Great job!

About Me

I've been stamping since 2003 when I attended my first Stampin' Up! party. I was hooked right from the start! I was an SU demonstrator for five years, until we moved from Canada to the USA and I couldn't transfer my business. So now I'm stamping for me, using all kinds of supplies from many cool companies! :)

Since I'm computer challenged, I turned to my good friend Nancy to help me beautify my blog. She created my fabulous blog banner. All I did was ask for a bird in it and she did the rest. She even made me a couple of fabulous watermarks too. I LOVE it all! Thanks Nancy!
